Dining

The Iguana Lodge kitchen presents fabulous food crafted by talented, imaginative individuals. Over the years Iguana Lodge's food has become legendary: it is fresh, healthy, and eclectic. We are told we offer the best food on the peninsula, even in Costa Rica – no kidding. Because of these rave reviews, we created a cookbook with top notch food photographer, Colin Cooke, NYC (along with Ralph Gabriner - who is responsible for many of the fine photographs on the website). The Iguana Lodge cookbook can be purchased on line at www.lulu.com.

Alfred Portale, owner and chef of New York City's world famous Gotham Bar and Grill states: "Toby and Lauren own a lodge in Costa Rica that boasts one of the most spectacular settings in which I've ever eaten a meal. Lauren, an accomplished cook, and her chef turn out some of the best food in the country."

We have two restaurants: The Iguana Rancho and The Pearl of the Osa – which is a public restaurant and bar (a great place to meet the locals). At the Iguana Rancho we offer breakfast and eclectic dinners, and at the Pearl of the Osa we offer a wide variety of fresh and classic lunch and dinner options. Guests staying in the Casitas or those purchasing a meal plan have breakfast and dinner at the Rancho included in the price of their stay. Club Room guests have breakfast included in the price of their stay, with meal plan options available.
